WORLD MINIMUM WHEAT PRICE 
CONCERNS CANADIAN GROWER 


Canadian wheat farmers undoubtedly would be richer by 
many millions of dollars if they had sold during the past few 
years in a competitive market. All of Canada would like to 
have the farmer get that benefit. He suffered when the market 
was glutted and price low; now he should be free to take ad- 
vantage of scarcity and high price. 


Besides, what benefits the wheat farmer helps all of 
Canada. 


Yet the majority of wheat growers apparently still favor 
sale of wheat on a bulk basis with prices fixed by the federal 
government by direct negotiation with other governments. 


Possibly they remember the lean days with some contrite- 
ness. Then $1 wheat would have seemed a boon. 


During the Great Depression, close observers at Ottawa 
came to the conclusion that there was a cellar price at which 
wheat could not be grown except at a loss under any circum- 
stances. It will probably make farmers shudder even to men- 
tion it, but that price was 70 cents a bushel. 


Now production at profit is extremely relative and de- 
pends on a great many factors. To use only one example. if 
present purchasing price of the dollar has decreased to fifty 
cents, then the farmer would need to get $1.40 per bushel to 
avoid operating loss. This is probably untrue either on the aver- 
age or as a generalization. Yet the 70 cent price was based on 
the assumption that the farmer was not buying any new ma- 
chinery, was getting labor, seed and materials at their low 
points, and that his standard of living was at a minimum. At 
less than 70 cents, without government subsidy, he would be 
better off not to sow one seed. 


Britain has agreed to buy this year’s Canadian crop at 
$2.00. At the time this did not appear to be a bargain, but in 
view of the International Wheat Agreement maximum of $1.80, 
perhaps it was. Under the 1948-49 agreement for the same 
price, Canada was to ship 140,000,000 bushels by last July 31; 


and this was fully carried out, according to Trade Minister C. 
D. Howe. 


The international agreement, which went into effect the 
first of this month, is designed to stabilize world markets and 
supplies. Under it, Canada is the largest exporting country, 
with an annual! share of 203,069,635 bushels of the world al- 
located market of 454,000,000 bushels. 


One of the most pernicious factors in stultifying world 
wheat trade in pre-war economy was the desire of nearly every 
country in the world to be “self-sufficient.”” Basic in this war- 
fear drive for self-sufficiency was wheat. Countries which had 
as much right—if there is an agrarian morality—to produce 
wheat as Canada has to grow opium turned their lands over to 
production of wheat to meet at least domestic needs. 


If the international agreement does nothing else but as- 
sure that those countries which can produce the best wheat 
most economically will be permitted, or much better, practic- 
ally guaranteed, their rightful share of world markets, it will 
not only have served a useful purpose but will be well worth 
seemingly present sacrifice for future gain. 


Persons who talk about ‘a competitive market” forget 
that a market is not competitive if the efficient producers are 
barred from competing by tariffs. If government-to-govern- 
ment “.reement can assure that this will not occur again, then 
th= majority of wheat growers who favor such a method are 
amplicitly right. 


The average wheat farmer has shown mature, but canny, 
judgment in his estimation of his own best interests. 


Many casual observers have thought he should more 
strongly protest he was getting a raw deal. In trying to ascribe 
reasons why he has not done so, they guess that he remembers 
the hard times so well he is grateful for anything he may get 
now. They do the intelligence of the wheat grower an injustice. 


The time of “mining” the land for the western farmer is 
long past. He is in the wheat business—or at least wheat with 
mixed farming——to stay; and that means taking into considera- 
tion long-term factors, He, even more urgently than the world 
as a Whole, would like to see “stabilized world markets; would 
like to know that the future, as well as the present, of that 
very important business he is in is assured. 


For this reason we brought up the 70 cent absolute mini- 
mum even under a depression economy. Even more important 
than the maximum price in the international agreement is re- 
cognition of a minimum price. At present the world does not 
have to be concerned with the minimum but the time will come 
when it may have to be. Then it should not be revised down- 
ward “in the light of existing conditions.”’ It should be the de- 
fence line which not only the farmer, but the government 
which is acting as his agent, should bulwark with subsidies, 
and only retreat from in the direst of emergencies. 

If he had his way, the wheat farmer would not like our 
sympathy in time of distress nor beg our advice in time of 
prosperity; but on certain occasions he certainly may need 


Confidentially 

Finds God in “Little 
Lighted Chamber 
Of Mind” 


By JAY LLOYD 


Confidentially, the most grotes- 
quely huge man I've ever seen 
was Gilbert Chesterton. 

He was well over six feet tall. 
(His measurements are probally 
a matter of record, if I cared to 
look it up. Which I don’t.) His 
measurements from stem to stern 
would be equally impressive. 

Also a “big’’ man in the field 
of letters, he was usually ranked 
with George Bernard Shaw and 
H. G. Wells. Both of these con- 
temporaries he tore to shreds in 
an interview I had with him a 
few years before his death. I 
also remember the city editor 
tore my interview to bits with 
even less provocation. 

I interviewed Chesterton on two 
occasions and talked to him on 
three. The first occasion there 
was no interview; but I shall 
never forget those first impres- 
sions, even if they were not pro- 
ductive of a story. 

Quietly he had come to town to 
visit relatives. Quite evidently he 
was not expecting visitors but he 
agreed to see me. The first I 
saw of HIM I thought an elephant 
was backing through the portiers. 

He must have had the prize cor- 
poration of all time. I thought 
stomach would never end before a 
head appeared. It also materializ- 
ed at an unexpected height and 
angle, as he had to duck to avoid 
the door top. 

Wearing a pair of baggy flan- 
nels and a salt-and-pepper sports 
jacket, strongly smelling of wine, 
and generally unkept, he was a 
disillusioning version of the 
Chesterton I had vizualized from 
his writings. His grey hair was 
matted and dandruff and loose 
hair were sprinkled liberally over 
his clothes. If I had been required 
to describe him in a phrase at the 
time, it would have been “a gi- 
gantic mess.” 


The next time I saw him he was 
prepared for an interview. He 
was all prettied up. He was sit- 


ting down, for which I was 


thankful, as standing he made me 
feel insignifically small. 

No chair in the room would 
quite encompass all his bulk, and 
he was perched on the edge of the 
largest one On several occasions 
when he became nterested in 
what he was discussing, and lean- 


ed forward, I was expecting any 


moment he would topple the chair 


and land on the floor 
During both these meetings I 
was continually wondering where 


behind this massive facade hides 
lati mind of his 
books. Soon I found it. The small 
(probably only in a 


the scintillating 


} relative 
sense) deep brown eyes sparkled 
with intelligence and humor when 
he became interested in a subject. 
He found it that night in ro- 


manticism and realism; he, of 


course, being a 20th century 
champion of the former. He used 
one memorable phrase: “A little, 
lighted chamber of the mind 


where God is.” 

A Protestant, Chesterton had 
oined the Roman Catholic Church. 
I was interested in the tempera- 
ment and attitude, not much 
which prompted, as 


the conversion.

BOOM TOWN ‘49° 


By T. W. PUE 


What happens when a quiet 
hamlet of about 30 homes and 150 
people becomes a boom town? 

Well, in cold statistics, the 
population jumps within a year 
to 1,500 with more coming every 
day. 

New _ streets 
are blocked out 
in grain fields 
north and south 
of the tracks. 
The railway 
sends in a station 
agent. The post 
office lean-to is 
torn down and a 
new, more com- 
modious office 
with boxes is 
built. New 
homes, new 
stores, shops, offices are built. 

Add to these solid facts the 
equally solid statement that the 
community is in a continual state 
of turmoil and you have Redwater, 
Alberta's only real Boom Town, 
1949 style. 

NOT A TOWN 

Actually, Redwater isn't even a 
village. Petitions to get a village 
charter have been promoted by the 
Board of Trade and chances are 
that the charter will be granted by 
January, 1950. 

So until then Redwater is wholly 
part of the Municipal District of 
Smoky Lake. 

The hamlet has two theatres, 
modern self-serve stores, and a 
modern up-to-date hotel. Two lum- 
ber yards, etc., etc. I could go on 
quoting statistics on the fastest 
growing hamlet — by now un- 
doubtedly the biggest hamlet — in 
Canada. 

But you and I, as mere humans, 
are now interested in the “human 
interest” aspect of the situation. 
“NO ROOMS” 

If I were a sign painter I think 
I could very easily talk the hotel 
management into letting me paint 
permanent “NO ROOMS TO 
RENT” signs on the fine new hotel 
they've built. You can’t get a room 
even by reserving it weeks in ad- 
vance. Only two rooms are not oc- 
cupied by permanent guests and 
when I tried to “check in” found 
that these two rooms had been 
held for several days by the same 
“transients” such as myself. 
TOUGH RIDING 

As an unorganized hamlet, you 
can understand that the streets are 
in poor shape and rough riding. 


T. W. Pue 


When you realize how much the 
Provincial Government is getting 
out of Alberta oil you can’t 
imagine why the highway leading 
to Redwater isn’t in better shape. 
Neither can I—and the Mnister 
won't tell. This all makes for un- 
comfortable driving to, from, and 
in Redwater. 


OIL BRINGS PEOPLE 

Of all the interests in life — the 
study of people—all kinds of peo- 
ple, is the most entrancing. All 
kinds of people -— neighborhoods 
of them from Saskatchewan towns 
and other points, have come to 
seek employment here, and getting 
it. Are the few original residents 
of Redwater happy? Most of them 
rejoice over the good fortune that 
has hit their town, but not all. 

There is the lady, with the sad, 
wistful face, who told me that 
when shé and her husband married 
they moved to Redwater to live a 
quiet, peaceful life. Then the oil 
boom struck and their plans for a 
peaceful future wrecked. 

There is the lady on main street 
who said she wished she could get 
away from Redwater. Why? Be- 
cause its too noisy. 

There is the retiring school 
principal who was convinced that 
taking a school in Redwater was 
the equivalent of retiring. He 
started with one small room and 
ended the school term with three 
rooms. Moral: When you retire 
from teaching school, don't be 
talked into taking a one-roomed 
school sitting on top of a billion- 
dollar reserve of oil. 


“SINCE THURSDAY” 

The biggest kick I got out of in- 
terviews with people in Redwater 
was when I met a_ well-dressed 
young man of 12 years coming 
home from school one day last 
April. He politely told me _ his 
name, age and said he liked Red- 
water. When I asked him “How 
long have you lived in Redwater, 
son?” his laconic reply was: 
“Since Thursday.” 

CHANGING SCENE 

And that’s how quickly things 
change in Boom Town ’49. Red- 
water is already bigger than 
Devon and each day brings new, 
fresh changes. 

This is supposed to be an upto- 
date report on Redwater. But I 
wonder how many changes has 
taken place since last Thursday. 

If you're coming to Redwater— 
bring your own tent. Or better 
still — bring two and rent one. 


I think he expressed it in “the 
little lighted chamber’? idea as 
well as he could ever put it into 
words. It was his faith. For the 
Chureh as an institution, he had 
a deep affection as well as toler- 
ant wisdom, God began where his 
intellect stopped, because his in- 
tellect lead him to God. 


When he arose to bid me good- 
bye, and moved across the room 
like an animated bell tent, the 
realms of sublimity in which we 
had been moving seemed ridicu- 
lous—or did they? 


Perhaps it was appropriate that 
this massive representative of the 
physical should be associated with 
the spiritual. At least it seems 
curious to me that, of all the 
thousands of persons I’ve met, 
he is the only one with whom I 
automatically immediately asso- 
ciate the idea of God and Mind. 


practical help, As a dealer in world markets he needs an agency 
which may negotiate on a world basis—it has been proven 
rather conclusively the individual farmer can’t do it. That im- 
ples a large segment of the economy giving over to the whole 
economy (in theory at least) determination of its affairs. 


It has danger points unless the people as a whole are ready 
to concede that when it comes to wheat the voice of the actual 
wheat grower should prevail. For Canada this is not polite- 
ness but necessity.

August 1, 1949. 
Dear Sirs: 

For sometime we wanted to 
write and tell you how much we 
appreciate getting out home town 
paper. It is like a letter from 
home, only it gives us more news 
from the towns around our own 
home town. 

Sometime ago when some 
friends called and paid us a visit, 
they were telling us all the local 
changes. Much to their surprise 
we were able to tell them we al- 
ready knew all the home town de- 
velopments, as we were getting 
the local paper. , 

Keep up the good work, and keep 
the paper coming

Dear Sir: 

We are glad to hear that you 
have sent us a notice for our little 
Morinville Journal. We didn’t know 
the exact date that it would come 
due. Last year we had the paper 
from a friend that paid for us 
Thank you for letting us know 
We appreciate the 
much 


paper very 
We appreciate our visitors from 

Alberta. We hope people 

from Alberta will call and visit 

us when they are near Glen Lake

Diamond Jubilee 
Wheat Returned 
to Canada 


Canadian wheat which was ship- 
ped to Great Britain more than 
50 years ago, has been returned 
to Canada for germination tests 
and possible display purposes. It 
formed part of an exhibit of var- 
ious products grown throughout 
the British Empire, erected dur- 
ing the Diamond Jpbilee of Queen 
Victoria on the present site of 
the Admiralty Arch, in Whitehall, 
London. After the celebrations, 
component parts of this display 
were distributed to anyone inter- 
ested in such souvenirs Some of 
the Canadian wheat was secured 
by Mr. W. E.

Tottenham, 


50 years ago, and recently called 
at Canada House with his treas-

use or possible interest. 

Mr. Nicholls was

tempted to 


occasions, especially when taunted 
by his friends for keeping such a 


“useless and unglamorous’ ob

TOLL ROADS FOR ALBERTA? 


Many Canadian provinces, as well as states, will watch 
with interest the experiment of Oklahoma in trying to build 


toll roads. 


The Public Roads Administration of the United States has 
opposed toll roads, but many states are not able to finance 
primary and secondary road construction and at the same 
time build super-highways. For this reason, private financing 
is being sought for a state toll road between Oklahoma City 
and Tulsa. Private bankers would put up about two-thirds and 
a federal loan will be sought for the remainder. 

Canadians who have experienced the toll bridge system 
in the province of Quebec would certainly vote against any toll 
system on nuisance grounds. Also, it certainly won't prove 


popular with tourists. 


Yet when one considers the vast network of roads needed 
in Canada, the amount of taxation levied on everyone to con- 
struct and maintain them irrespective of their use of such 
roads, and the condition of some of our main roads — let alone 
secondary ones — the idea might have some merit. It could also 
be justified on the grounds of equity; let those who use the 


roads most mainly pay for them. 


If Oklahoma succeeds in getting a federal loan, as seems 
probable, many other states will undoubtedly devise similar 
projects. It will be interesting to see public reaction. 


Farm Delegation 
Seeks New Deal 


Alberta farmers want a new deal 
in the way of surface rights com- 
pensation where oil exploration 
and drilling is done on their lands 

A group of them told Hon. N. E 
Tanner, acting premier, so. re- 
cently 

Roy C. Marler, heading a surface 
oil rights committee from the Al- 


Britain’s $3,600 
Million For World 


Recovery 

Details have just been published 
of gifts and loans made available 
by the United Kingdom to the 
world nee the end of the war. 
Of a total value approximately 
$3,600 million, $1,600 million 
come under the heading of gifts, 
the biggest single contribution 
being that of $620 million to 
UNRA. Of $1,940 million mad 
available in the form of loans 
and recoverable aid, $776 million 
has gone to the cost of supplying 
the German civil economy and 
$400 million to France under the 


Anglo-French financial agre 
ment. An additional $246 million 
come under the heading of draw- 
ing rights to June 20 of this year 
by Austria, France, Greece, Bi- 
rone and Turkey 


ALCHEMISTS’ 
DREAM 


The dream of the alchemists 
may have been made to come true 


Modern science can now produce 
gold by artificial means. This was 
revealed recently by Sir Joh: 
Cockeroft, Director of Britain's 
Atomic Research Establishment 
He was speaking to delegates at 
tending the Empire Mining and 
Metallurgy Congress held in Lon- 
don. He stressed that only small 
quantities can so far be made in 
this way. “We are often asked 
whether we can produce gold ar 
tificially. We can in fact do this 
But since we have to start from 
platinum and the process is rather 
eypensive we are not likely to put 
the goldmines out of operation in 
the foreseeable future.” 


berta Federation of Agriculture, 
discussed the question with Mr. 
Tanner for more than two hours. 


Delegation presented a brief Mr. 
Tanner will place before the Al- 
berta cabinet at an early date. Mr. 
Marler is president of the Alberta 
Federation of Agriculture. 


Delegation produced official re- 
ports that revealed some farmers 
have received as little as $15 per 
year in compensation for explora- 
tion and drilling on their farms 

Specifically the delegation ask- 
ed the government to enlarge the 
arbitration board on surface rights 
compensation to three members 
with one member having had sev- 
eral years practical experience as 
a farmer 

At present there is only one man 
on the arbitration board 

Mr. Marler pointed out that only 
a man with farming experience 
can properly assess costs to a 
farmer involved in exploring and 
drilling 

Again, delegation urged that 
farmers have the right to sell their 
lands at prices commensurate with 
the market value of the day plus 
compensation for moving to new 
homes and becoming rehabilitated. 

It is also suggested that losses 
from disturbances of drilling oper- 
ations be fixed on a basis of the 
entire farm instead of at the value

Education For Agriculture 


Farming is an art and a science. 
It is also a profession. Just as the 
successful doctor, the lawyer or any 
professional man must continue to 
study during his whole career in 
order to keep up-to-date, so should 
the progressive farmer make use of 
all means at his disposal to keep 
abreast of progress in his special 
branch of farming. 

Knowledge 1s Power. In farming 
perhaps more than in any other 
profession, knowledge is power—it 
spells success. The present-day 
farmer, if he is to farm successfully, 
must have some knowledge of the 
modern science of agriculture. But 
what is more important he must be 
able to put that knowledge into 
practice. 

Agricultural Courses. To meet 
the educational needs of agricultural 
people, the Faculties (Colleges) and 
the Provincial Schools of Agriculture 
in the Prairie Provinces offer a wide 
variety of courses in Agriculture and 
Home Economics. No country in 
the world possesses better institu- 
tions and facilities for training and 
educating young people for work in 
the field of agriculture than does 
Western Canada. The following 
courses are offered: (1) The Degree 
Course in Agriculture or Home 
Economies. This course is for those 
young men and women who have 
the necessary University entrance 
requirements, and can devote 4 or 5 
years to organized study. (2) The 
Diploma Course. This 1s a down-to- 
earth practical farming course for 
young men who intend to be 
farmers. It extends over two winter 
sessions. (3) Short Courses. A 
number of short courses are offered 
in many fields of agriculture (Dairy- 
ing, Poultry, Live Stock, Field 
Crops, Home Economics for Home- 
makers, ete.). Most of these winter 
courses are of one or two weeks’ 
duration. They are designed to 
meet the special needs and interests 
of farm men and women. 

Plan now to attend one of these 
courses this fall or winter. Line 
Elevators Farm Service urges young 
farm people to accept this oppor- 
tunity a fitting themselves for 
rural leadership in Western Canada 
For further information write 
directly to your nearest provincial 
University or School of Agriculture 


of the relatively few acres disturb- 
ed by exploration and drilling of 
wells. 

Finally, the brief calls for an 
entirely new basis of compensa- 
tion to farmers holding surface 
rights

ARGENTINE TREATY 


The Argentine Government has 
announced that a commercial 
treaty has been signed with the 
authorities of Trizone Germany 
(British, U.S., and French Zones). 

Argentina will provide hides, 
wool, eggs, casein, meat, lard, 
coarse grains and other products 
to the value of $33.8 million. In 
return Germany will supply $25 
million worth of manufactured 
goods, Payment will be arranged 
in New York. 


ARGENTINE BUTTER 


The Argentine Government has 
cancelled its export monopoly. on 
butter. Private traders will prob- 
ably not be able to take advant- 
age of this decision, as current 
stocks are low. No butter was ex- 
ported during May, the latest 
month for which _ statistics are 
available. 


PERUVIAN WHEAT 

Arrangements have been made 
for Peru to obtain 30 thousand 
tons of wheat and flour from 
Australia. The value of the wheat 
is placed at $4.43 million and will 
come out of the United Kingdom 
quota in Australia, 


It is reported that three elec- 
tric machine and tractor stations 
started operations in Russia this 
spring. The electric tractor was 
adopted by installing an electric 
motor in the chassis of an ordin- 
ary tractor. 

The machines receive current 
from high-voltage electric trans- 
mission lines, and a mobile trans- 
former substation can be connect- 
ed at any place to such a. ne in 
the field. It is claimed that such 
tractors can cultivate a section of 
37 acres before it is necessary to 
move the transformer. Running 
costs are said to be much less 
than gasoline driven machines. 

AUSTRALIAN WHEAT 

A spokesman of the Australian 
Wheat Board announced that an 
agreement with the United 
Kingdom had been reached on 
shipments from the 1948 
crop. Exports of wheat from 
Australia to the United Kingdom 
itself, and other areas’ supplied 
by the British Ministry of Food, 
total 60 million bushels in

Locomotive 
Handbook 


Britain’s Locomotive Manufac- 
turer’s Association has prepared 
a 464 page handbook in five lan- 
guages which will act as a link 
between railwaymen all over the 
world. It has taken some years to 
compile and every nut, screw and 
bolt in a railway engine has been 
tabulated, shown on_ specially 
drawn diagrams and described in 
English, French, German, Spanish 
and Portuguese. It also includes 
a full dictionary, The purpose of 
the handbook is to attempt to 
collect information regarding lo- 
comotive building and make it 
available to the world, and to ini- 
tiate a campaign for the standard- 
ization of terms. Britain’s locomo- 
tive industry is at preseat booked 
up for uv yerrs with more tvan 
$120 million worth of orders—80 
per cent of them for overseas. 

In addition to the boiler, check 
your heat distribution system too. 
Summer is the best time to re- 
place worn out room heating 
units in preparation for healthful 
comfort next winter. Where com- 
port is lacking many times the 
trouble lies with antiquated heat 
outlets which have out-lived their 
usefulness. 

Among the new developments 
for easy installation on steam or 
hot water systems are convector- 
radiators which occupy much less 
space in rooms than older equip- 
ment and provide dependable heat 
in gentle convected currents. 
Convector-radiators are enclosed 
in attractive metal cabinets which 
lend a note of distinction to mod- 
ern rooms and may be painted to 
blend or contrast with the color 
scheme of adjoining walls.

Writer Takes Readers fo “‘Far Away Places” 


Jack Bird has written especially for this newspaper the 
story of his 15,000-mile journey in search of knowledge and ad- 
venture, The first of a series of five articles appears in this 
issue. 

Mild-mannered Jack Bird is the soldier-of-fortune type. He 
served with the U.S.A. Army in Hawaii and with the Canadian 
Army in the British Isles and Europe. 

Although he loves the sea, he has never been a sailor, His 
ambition is to own a one-man sailing ship with auxiliary motor, 
in which to roam the Seven Seas at will. 

Photographer, lecturer, farmer and writer, he lives in 
Brandon, Manitoba. He works efficiently, but without particu- 
lar enthusiasm, so that he may later do the things he wishes to 
do with enthusiasm. 

Flying around Central America, the West Indies and the 
northern coasts of South America is Jack’s idea of the way to 
live properly. We envy him. 

Vicariously, you may adventure with him as he details his 
impressions and experiences.—The Editor. 


In Search of Adventure, Yet this Bird Said ‘‘No’’ 


(This is the first of a series of 

five articles) soon I was having a wonderful 
view of the Florida everglades, a 
great sea of swamp and marsh- 
land, hundreds of square miles of 
absolute wilderness, covered large- 
ly with saw grass, which isn’t 
grass at all, but a sedge. 


My blood quickened as I board-

clipper at Miami, last November. 

The first time I was ever in the 
air, it was the beginning of a series 
of 20 flight that were to take me 
twice to South America and three 
times to the West Indies, a total 
of 15,000 miles before I was to re- 
turn, eight weeks later, to my 
Manitoba home town 


When we were out over the 
ocean I could see the deep blue 
waters of the Gulf Stream sweeps

HAVANA, CUBA 

Sixty minutes after leaving 
Miami we were circling over Ha- 
vana, losing altitude fast and 
bumping a lot, and my ears were 
aching. Another five minutes and 
there was a soft touch, a lift, and 
we were on the ground and the 
motors cut off. 


Havana is a city of 700,000, and 
like Honolulu the name means the 
sheltered, or fair haven. The main 
street of Havana is very broad. 
Down the center is another street, 
perhaps 50 feet wide, being a 
raised pavement for pedestrians 
only. This long, raised, center 
street - within a street —- has 
open work balustrades and laurel 
trees along its sides, while the 
pavement itself is a wonderful mo- 
saic of colored strone tile. 


MISSED LITTLE 


A Spanish - English - speaking 
guide took me all over Havana in 
his car one afternoon for $10.00. I 
don’t think we missed very much, 
for I saw the old city and the new, 
the beautiful and the ugly, the 
magnificent and the squalid. Rob- 
ert Ripley reports Havana has 
flies nor mosquitoes. I found this 
quite true, although I never did 
learn why. 


I have seen cemeteries in many 
places, but the most beautiful by 
far is the big one in La Habana. 
As the dead are not buried below 
the ground, the tombs are raised; 
many of them being beautiful and 
costly mausoleums. 


My guide also took me to a 
distillery one of those places 
where they make spirits in the 
back and you drink it in the front. 
You sit in chairs covered with goat 
skins. In the back part, chickens 
walked about the floor. 


From this building we went 
down a narrow street with iron 
grill-work over each first-storey 
window most of the houses of 
Havana are constructed this way. 
My guide knocked on the door of 
one of the dwellings and shouted 
something in Spanish. I noticed the 
door, at the height of my head, 
had two holes the size of large nic- 
kles, half an inch apart, with brass 
grill work over the holes. Then I 
heard a clicking sound as the holes 
opened. A pair of eyes looked at 
us. When my companion again said 
something in Spanish, a bolt was 
drawn and the door opened. 


HE DIDN'T 
SPEAK SPANISH 


If I wondered at first what man- 
ner of place this could be with all 
the precautions, I did not wonder 
long, for as soon as we stepped in- 
side I saw all the girls, most of 
them in their twenties, and some in 
abbreviated costumes. I was usher- 
ed to a seat in a reception room at 
the end of a hall 


Five girls immediately sat down 
beside me. One asked would 1 
have a drink. I said no. Another 
asked would I have a smoke. I said 
no. Another asked would I dance 
with her. Again I said no. They 
asked me some other questions, 
and T still said no. Then they look- 
ed at each other as if to say: ‘Well 
What did he come here for any- 
way?” So I told them I was there 
because the guide hac 
and I didn't know where he was 
bringing me to. Whereupon all but 
one got up and left. After a short 
conversation, she, too, got up and 
left. Then my guide came out of 
another room and the door we had 
entered was unbolted and we both 
went out into the street. 


The more I saw of the city the 
more I realized the truth of Ha- 
vana’s reputation as the place to 
go to have a good time, for it is a 
wide open city. The gambling ca- 
sino is called the Monte Carlo of 
America

CANNING QUERIES 


August days bring canning 
problems. Are any of these yours? 
Have you ever wondered why the 
skins of fruit in your home-made 
currant, gooseberry or plum were 
tough? If so, this, year, crush the 
fruit slightly, add the required 
amount of water, bring to boil and 
simmer uncovered for 10 fo 15 
minutes. (According to time- 
table). Then add the sugar. This 
is a good tip to remember if you 
are making jams from wild fruit, 
since they often have 
skins than garden fruits. 


tougher 


Of course, if you really expect 
to get jelly from those choke 
cherries, you never pick them 
right after a rain, for the rain 
dilutes the pectin in the fruit, 
making it harder than ever to 
jell. 

It is best to use your pressure 
saucepan for meats and vegetables 
since it does a more thorough job 
of setrilizing these than does the 
hot water pack. What’s more if 
you have canned vegetables in 
don’t 
min- 


the pressure-saucepan you 
need to boil them for ten 
utes before tasting. 

Fruits and tomatoes canned in 
the pressure-saucepan are apt to 
be mushy, high tempera- 
ture sometimes breaks down the

do want to do your peaches, pears 
or apricots this way, use the cold 
pack method and process at five

Haying Becoming 
More Mechanized 


A gradual but definite shift in 
hay harvesting methods and equip- 
ment in Eastern Canada has taken 
place during the last decade 

Before the war, hay mower sales 
in Eastern Canada ran about 6,000 
to 7,000 a year, the bulk of them 
horse-drawn machines, Sales in 
1946 totalled 10,505, of which 
8,980 were horse-drawn, 98 were 
tractor-drawn and 1,522 were 
tractor-mounted. 

The following year, with a 
better selection of equipment 
available, more than five times as 
many tractor drawn mowers were 
sold as in 1946, tractor-mounted 
mower sales about held their own, 
but horse-drawn mower sales drop- 
ped by 16 per cent 

Pre-war, dump rakes used to 
outsell side delivery rakes by six 
to one, but today the ratio has 
been cut down to a little better 
than two to one, Loader sales are 
on the increase 

A desire to speed up operations, 
to increase efficiency, is regarded 
as a prime reason for the shift in 
methods and machines, but other 
reasons include the growing num 
ber of tractors, the improved cash 
position of farmers and the short- 
age of farm labor 


To Study Tuberculosis 


Every Indian school in British

This unit has be@n prepared by

Services in British Columbia in 
co-operation with the Indian Af- 
fairs Inspector of Indian Schools

Oil In Pipeline 
By Fall of 1950 


EDMONTON Oil from the 
Leduc field will be flowing through 
the 470-mile pipeline to Regina by 
next fall, Dr. O. B. Hopkins, vice- 
president f Imperial Oil Limited, 
said in an interview here. 


While pipe will not be laid until 
early next year, some grading and 
preparatory work on pumping 
stations will be done this fall, he 
said 

Final decision is expected soon 
on the proposed extension of the 
pipeline to the head of the Great 
Lakes. Engineering studies are 
being made of the project, along 
with cost estimates but the plan 
still is in the consideration stage. 
So far, there had been no definite 
announcement. 

Dr. Hopkins said one pumping 
station will be at Edmonton and 
the other at Ermine, just east of 
Kerrobert, Sask. 

Dr. Hopkins said the potential 
consumption of the Canadian mar- 
ket is 300,000 barrels a day. By the 
end of this vear, the Alberta out- 
put is estimated «at 200,000 to 
125,000 barrels a day.
